Kol and Caleb jog up to the docks, breathing heavily and coughing a little from exertion. “Fuckin lichfire, I still need more training with Del. Everybody okay?” Kol glances at the fiery elementals and concerned baker.
‘Er, hello? Who are you?” Cauldera asks.
“Friends of ours.” Raithe explains, “Kol’s a spirit guide. Without his help, Miki and I would have... well I don’t know if things would worked out.” The pair share a quick, meaningful handhold.
“Oooh! A spirit guide? You know I’ve never met one!” Cauldera addresses him, blazing with fascination. Maybe you can help!”
Kol nods and coughs, “Thats what we do... What... er what can we help you with?”
“Well...” she starts, “Obviously, I’m here to deliver a flame to our happy couple here. But I’ve come all this way and I just must see the city!”
“But you’re molting, right? Sounds kind of dangerous.”
“Oh please!” She begs, “I’ve just barely started! I still have plenty of plumage left! It could take a week or more before its done!”
“I...” Kol shares a glance with Caleb, who shrugs stoically, “...guess we could give you a quick tour, as long as we keep your feathers from causing any damage.”
The phoenix’s flames glow happily at the concession. “Yes, wonderful!”
“Okay, uh what to go see?” Kol thinks to himself, scratching idly under his dreadlocks. “I only moved here a couple of years ago. To be honest, Gabe mostly takes care of our transportation: I’m not sure what’s nearby to show you.” He looks up, "Uhh... there's the statue..."
"I see the statue! Its very nice, but I meant more..." one hand swivels absentmindedly as she hunts for the right words. "Culture! Life! Experiences!"
“Caleb, any suggestions?”
“What?” The question catches the selkie by surprise and he stares blankly for a minute, wracking his brain for ideas. “Uh, well I’ mean, I know the fish market pretty well.” He waves a shovel sized hand at a fellow sailor passing by, “There’s the gardens just up the coast, of course. Uhh... there’s a small fey quarter Adrian and I went on a couple of dates there. I'm down for any other suggestions too.”
